I am getting a fault when I try to use Figure.draw_artist() with a matplotlib.text.Text object. Since matplotlib.text.Text inherits from matplotlib.artist.Artist, which is what draw_artist() takes, this should probably work.
Tested with latest SVN code on Linux. Here is the traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 10, in <module> fig.draw_artist(textartist) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/figure.py", line 816, in draw_artist a.draw(self._cachedRenderer) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/artist.py", line 55, in draw_wrapper draw(artist, renderer, *kl) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/text.py", line 549, in draw bbox, info = self._get_layout(renderer) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/text.py", line 267, in _get_layout key = self.get_prop_tup() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/text.py", line 716, in get_prop_tup self.figure.dpi, id(self._renderer), AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'dpi' And here is some simple code to trigger the bug: #!/usr/bin/env python # display bug in figure.draw_artist(matplotlib.text) import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.text import Text fig = plt.figure() plt.draw() textartist = Text(0.5, 0.5, "Foo") fig.draw_artist(textartist) plt.show() #end code Note that I still get the bug even when i specify figsize and dpi on the figure like so: fig = plt.figure(figsize=(2,2), dpi=300) -Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
